There are several calligraphy styles that are close to what I'm looking for. Sadly I cannot remember the name of this following one. I tried to ask a few people.

They have absolutely no clue.

lower case a is correct, as well as m, n, o, r, s, t, for sure. Captial letters are close to what they are.

Any ideas where to start? I have no clue! I tried italic, and gothic, nothing. Old English Gothic is only one left I had. I know I learned this TWICE!! I hoped to know, so I can complete the whole alphabet.

I'm not sure and I'm no expert, but going by the capital letters I'd guess that it was a gothic style of some sort.

I don't know any good calligraphy forum, either.

I'm really not hoping for someone with absolute expert.

I searched (which I forgot to add) at gothic, old english, italics, and nothing comes enough that I know what it is. Close, but nothing. I'm not looking for font that my computer would use, something I can use so I can continue usining the calligraphy.

I have Gothic Old English, which I'm going to eventually learn, but requires a ruler (which I don't have one long enough, lost it)

I use to do calligraphy and use to do that style, unfortunately I can't remeber what it is called. I agree with Wolfie however as I think it is gothic too.

Just done a quick google and found this site which may help Devvie: Calligraphy Fonts They are computer fonts but it may give you an idea as to what it is called to make it easier to search.
